Location

It is approximately 10 miles from Stow-on-the-Wold. The village lies approximately 4 miles southeast of Shipston-on-Stour, about 10 miles southwest of Stratford-upon-Avon and 23 miles from Cheltenham.
Moreton-in-Marsh which is approximately 4 miles away has a good range of facilities including a Co-op supermarket which has a Post Office, the Aldi supermarket and Tesco convenience store together with a useful range of other shops and facilities suitable for everyday needs.

Description
The Old School is an attractive detached building constructed of brick elevations under a pitched slate roof with brick chimney stacks and decorative ridge tiles. The original building was thoughtfully constructed with Cotswold stone quoins and cut stone window reveals together with a dark brick string course at dado height and dentilled eaves cornicing.
There are two buttresses either side of the central 12 pane casement windows and 2 gabled vents in the roof line.
The Old School was originally the village school and more recently used for storage and restoration of paintings and occasional art and craft exhibitions for many years and subject to any necessary planning consents is thought suitable for conversion for a number of uses.
The Old School has two fine main reception rooms with generous eaves height and former fireplaces. A more contemporary extension lends itself for alteration to provide additional accommodation.
